The Fydelia alternative
built for UK venues

Fydelia is a capable UK guest WiFi platform — we respect them. The difference is what surrounds the login: Telexico Connect bundles Spin-to-Win engagement, SMS campaigns, review routing and a telecoms company behind it, on a 30-day rolling plan.

What changes when you move

🎡
The login becomes a game
Spin-to-Win with a controlled win rate and same-day vouchers gives guests a reason to connect and a reason to return this week. Data capture alone does not change behaviour — a prize on the table does.
📱
SMS is native, not bolted on
TelexicoSMS is our own platform. Campaigns, birthday automations and win-backs run from the same dashboard your WiFi data lands in — no integration to maintain.
🏗
A telecoms company underneath
Telexico Communications runs VoIP, broadband, leased lines and WiFi for UK businesses. When something network-side is wrong, you are talking to people who fix networks for a living.
🔓
30-day rolling
Stay because the numbers work, not because you signed something. Parallel-run us against Fydelia and let the capture rates decide.

Setup guide Field-by-field guide for your exact AP, shareable with your IT/installer Documentation portals
Where Fydelia may fit better

Established RADIUS architecture. Fydelia operates its own authentication server cluster, which some enterprise IT teams specifically require in their network design.

Longer trading history in guest WiFi. They have been focused on this niche for years and their setup documentation is genuinely good.

If that is you, we will say so on the call. If it is not, we will show you your own venue running on Telexico before you hang up.

Switching takes an afternoon,
not a project

1
Keep your hardware
Telexico runs on the access points you already own — Grandstream, UniFi, Omada, MikroTik, Aruba, Meraki and more. Nothing to rip out, nothing to re-cable.
2
We rebuild your splash — better
Send us your current portal and branding. We rebuild it with data capture, review routing and Spin-to-Win, and hand you a field-by-field setup guide for your exact AP.
3
Run both, then flip
Point one SSID at Telexico and keep Fydelia live while you compare capture rates side by side. Flip fully when the numbers convince you. 30-day rolling — if they do not, walk away.

Asked by everyone comparing

How is Telexico Connect different from Fydelia?

Both capture guest data through branded captive portals on your existing APs. Telexico adds Spin-to-Win engagement with controlled win rates, native SMS marketing through TelexicoSMS, automated Google review routing, and 30-day rolling pricing — with a UK telecoms company behind the platform.

Do both work on Grandstream access points?

Yes — both use the external captive portal (EXCAP) flow on GWN access points. Telexico supplies a field-by-field GDMS setup guide for your exact venue, shareable with your installer via a private link.

Can I trial Telexico while keeping Fydelia live?

Yes, and we recommend it. Point one SSID at Telexico, keep Fydelia on another, and compare capture rates side by side. 30-day rolling means the trial carries no lock-in.

Do I need a RADIUS server with Telexico?

No. Guests are identified and cleared on our platform before the WiFi hand-off, so there is no authentication server to run, monitor, or lose at 4am.

Is my data hosted in the UK?

Yes — UK company, UK-focused platform, GDPR-compliant consent captured on every connection.
